The captain is cool headed, cunning and lucky. But there is also the "under world" of the imperial navy ships where murders and criminals live feeding the guns of the ships in rough conditions so it explains very well the goings on of a imperial ship.

Its kind of the only books of its kind so far (that I am aware of) and I really hope they make more like it or continue the series of captain Semper (and his henchman, can't recall the name now - while ago since I read it)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8423694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8423694.page GMT Re:books books books

Here is a link to the details of that series: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gothic_War_(Novel_Series)

I am a huge space marines and HH fan, but these two books are right up there for me : )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8424792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8424792.page GMT books books books BL books, this one's story seems the most engaging.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8424892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8424892.page GMT books books books

I don't know why, but Legion of the Damned by Rob Sanders is an overlooked and often criticized novel that I keep coming back to once every while. Out of all the BL books, this one's story seems the most engaging.


I liked it, the legion couldn't have been done any differently without destroying the mystery that surrounds them. Anything by Rob Sanders is generally good.

If you like these BattleFleet Gothic books, try the short story Mortal Fuel, then read Relentless. I agree with his suggestion Execution hour is one of my favorite books, tied with Guns of Tanith.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8426920.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8426920.page GMT books books books http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8426956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8426956.page GMT books books books

Evil Sun Rising by Guy Haley is told from the Orks perspective the whole way through. Surprisingly legible.

100% this as well as the prequel, Engine of Mork. Both are excellent and do as good, if not a better job of portraying an Ork perspective than Deff Skawdron.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8427296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/678641/8427296.page GMT books books books
For Orks, I don't know if it counts since it is not a novel but the "WAAARGH ORKS' book is nice. It has quite a few ork short stories in it goes into depth on ork kultur and it is filled with great art.
But you might not like it if you like the more modern take on orks.


[Edit] This is the "WAAARGH ORKS" book . t isn't codex like book its is more of a oldskool fluff book.
